| Abstract: | Abstract BACKGROUND: Risky sexual behaviour is any behaviour that increases one’s likelihood of contacting sexually transmitted infections, including having unprotected intercourse, having multiple sexual partners, and having sexual intercourse with an intravenous drug user. The period of youth is a critical developmental period which defines and clarifies their sexual values and the urge to experiment with sexual behaviours. OBJECTIVES: The study was set out to determine the awareness and practices of sexually transmitted infections and sexual behaviour among the youths in Edo State, Nigeria METHODS: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted with a structured interviewer administered questionnaire to collect data from 412 studied respondents who gave informed consent. All relevant data such as socio-demographic information, sexual behaviour and practices were collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23. RESULTS: The mean age (SD) of the respondents was 19.0(3.09) years. Three hundred and fifty (85.0%) of the respondents were aware of sexual intercourse. More than half, 199 (56.9%) of the respondents stated their source of information were from friends. Another 156 (44.6%) stated social media and112 (32.0%) stated television. One hundred and thirteen (85.6%) first had sexual intercourse between 15-19 years and 88(64.7%) of the respondents have engaged in hugging and kissing about 6 or more times in last six months, while a little more than that 84 (61.8%) had sex 6 or more times in last six months. Fortyseven (34.6%) of the respondents have been involved in oral sex 2-3 times in last six months. CONCLUSION: High risk sexual practices are still common among young persons in our environment as shown in this study. The youths in our society should be properly guided by parents and teachers to avoid misinformation emanating from friends and social media.
